How to travel around Czechia by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Czechia

  • Check domestic flight details before booking
    This page does not currently list a verified, publicly bookable domestic passenger timetable. That reflects the information verified for this page; it does not confirm that private, charter, humanitarian, sightseeing or other special flights are unavailable. Before booking, confirm the airport pair, operating date, passenger eligibility and ticket availability with the operator.

Arriving from another country

  • Consult Czech visa or residence guidance for your category
    The Czech Foreign Ministry’s Entry & Residence section provides visa and residence-permit application guidance and directs appointment enquiries to the embassy. Select the topic relevant to your purpose and status rather than applying one process to all travellers.

Check Prague T1/T2 by Schengen destination

Prague Airport uses T1 for destinations outside the Schengen Area and T2 for destinations within it. The distinction follows the flight destination’s Schengen status, not simply EU membership or passenger nationality. Recheck your specific flight before travel.

Czechia flight and airport FAQs

Can I choose a Prague terminal just by EU membership?

No. The airport distinguishes T1 for non-Schengen destinations and T2 for Schengen destinations. Check your specific flight.

Do all Smartwings price packages have the same baggage conditions?

Not necessarily. Smartwings states that included baggage weight and count may vary by price package. Check your booking.
